Publisher's Synopsis
After seriously want to be liberated from simply accepting moral directives from family, from media, from "one's group," from one's culture -and willing to labor to understand what makes any action morally good or bad., Grisez, a lay moral theologian, will equip you to guide your own journey before and to God. Liberated, you will feel you are creating your own self, that your life is in your hands. Grisez is a sound, conservative Catholic, but creatively independent. Appealing only to reason at first, hence accessible to all people, he focuses on free choice and human fulfillment. A clear criterion of good (morally) and bad (morally) choices is provided. Aware we act immorally because of non-integrated feelings, he articulates ways to avoid doing so. These ways he then transforms for the Christian to follow the way of the Lord Jesus, love becoming the criterion of morally good choices-allowing God, who is love, to co-operate in our choices as you create yourself as a loving self.
